In this video, I explain how I use filters and filter key tracking in my synthesizer sound design. I demonstrate how filters can be used to remove or amplify specific harmonics in a sound, targeting frequencies like the first and second harmonics to enhance bass presence. I also show how key tracking allows filters to follow the frequency of different notes, making the filtering process more precise.

In this video, I focus on the sequencer part of the Triaz plugin by Wave Alchemy. By using the note grid in Bitwig, I demonstrate how to create polymetric drum sequences with individual lanes and adjustable loop lengths. I also showcase techniques like changing the gate length, velocity, and implementing retrigger features using modules like Trigger, Latch, and Shift.

In this video, I explain how to replicate the functionality of Corpus in Bitwig Studio. Corpus is essentially a resonator with specific frequencies, and by adjusting parameters like type, resonance, and in-harm, you can create different resonances and effects. I also provide a preset that emulates Corpus within Bitwig Studio and offer the option of using AAS's Object Delay if you want to achieve the exact same sound.

In today's video, I show a trick for using the segments module in the grid. By misusing the modules and drawing in waveforms, you can create unique sounds like kick drums and percussion. This method allows for persistence and the ability to save presets, making it a versatile tool within the grid.

The Moog Spectravox is a new vocoder/filter bank with limited features, but the sound quality is what sets it apart. While it's possible to replicate it in Bitwig Studio, it doesn't make sense to do so because the hardware device has a unique sound that can't be replicated in software. However, I've created a preset in Bitwig Studio that mimics the functionality of the Moog Spectravox for those interested in exploring it further.

In this video, I discuss the new features and improvements in Bitwig Studio 5.2 Beta2. I focus on the issues and improvements in tempo detection, highlighting the need for it to work in raw mode and suggesting the inclusion of pitch settings in the "Repitch" mode. Additionally, I showcase the new wavetable oscillatum, which allows for the removal of the fundamental frequency and the integration of a sub oscillator.

In the video, I announced the winners of the Bitwig Studio giveaway, with the Essential version going to Donc8295, the Producer version to Bull Noble, and the Studio version to T-Borban9556. I also shared some of the comments I received from viewers, who expressed their gratitude for Bitwig's support of Linux, the user support provided by the developers, and the fun and creativity that Bitwig Studio allows for. Lastly, I mentioned that I will be attending Super Booth and invited viewers to join me there.
May 10, 2024 Talk
In the video, I share my experience with discovering and using Bitwig Studio over the past 10 years. I talk about how it brought back the joy in making music for me, the power and flexibility of the software, and how it inspired me to start my YouTube channel and Patreon community. I also announce a competition where viewers can win the full version of Bitwig Studio or other prizes by commenting the year the software was released.

In this video, I discuss the All-Pass filter module in Bitwig Studio 5.2. While it may not seem like much, this module is actually quite powerful as it allows for phase shifting at specific frequencies without altering the frequency content. This module can be used for tasks such as phase aligning sounds or creating custom filters within the Bitwig Grid.

In this video, I discuss the Compressor Plus in Bitwig Studio 5.2 Beta 1 and clear up some confusion around its functionality. I explain that while it appears to have multiple bands, it is actually a single-band compressor with the ability to adjust intensity and timing for different frequencies. I also provide some tips and insights on using the Compressor Plus in combination with other plugins like the Over Clipper and explore its potential for creating step sequencing effects in the note grid.
